'This Side of Bedlam' Opens At Centre Stage Friday Night "This Side of Bedlam," Players production written by Warren Smith, instructor in dramatics, will open at Centre Stage Friday and Saturday nights. The play will be directed by Kelly Yeaton, also of the dramatics department. "This Side of Bedlam' is the first play we know of that has been written exclusively for central staging," said Prof. Arthur C. Cloetingh, head of the depart ment. "It is also the first three act play written entirely by a member of the College dramatics staff . to be presented in State Col lege," he added. With a setting in a small town and with a conflict involving an educational institution, "This Side of Bedlam" resembles "Parlor Story," Centre Stage offering which closed last week. This time, however, the play concerns the problems of a high school instead of a college professor. The play will continue for a limited number of weekends, and reservations may be made in ad vance at the dramatics office, Schwab Auditorium.

How many? She doesn't know and doesn't care—probably because she knows they'll all be little lambs. It's something she exper iences every year about this time as a rule, so she casually munch es alfalfa and ignores the visitors to the College sheep barn. Most of the other girls have borne their offspring already this year. The new mothers now pass time nursing their new charges and keeping them from mischief as they explore their newly-found world of eat, sleep, and play. All of the animals in the Barn seem to know that either Pete, Jim, or Buck is on hand at any hour of the day or night if he should be needed. At least Jim says none of them hesitate to call him at 3 a.m. whether he has a blue book coming up or not. Peete is head shepherd Peter MacKenzie. His two student as sistants, James Waters and Wal lace Spence, live in an apartment in the barn and both carry full schedules in animal husbandry. "Lambing" season for the live breeds living in the barn started in December and is at its peak now. According to Waters, new bably lambs will continue to ar rive for two or three more weeks. Revolutionary Topic Produces Spate of Anglo-Amerian Humor Dashes of British and American humor were liberally scat tered throughout the debate on Anglo-American relations in Schwab Auditorium Monday evening as two Cambridge Univer sity and two students from the College discussed the subject, "Resolved, That the world would have been much happier had not the American Revolutionaries left the British Empire." The subject was given serious consideration as Richard Hill, of the College; and Duncan Macrae, of Cambridge, took the affirma tive viewpoint and Percy Cra dock, of Cambridge, and John Fedako, of the College, took the negative side. There Would have been no Civil War, and perhaps World Wars I and II would not have taken place if the Americans had not, rebelled, said Hill. Stronger Government His colleague, Macrae, point ed out that if the British and the Americans had remained together, they would have formed a nucleus around which a stronger world government could have been formed. 0 The competition between Great Britain and the United States has enriched the world in romance, politics, and literature, Fedako said. English America would not be the same if it had not been founded upon the "savage spirit" that it was, added Cradock. chance to play fireman and bet ter still to extinguish flames at Atherton Hall. Instead of fire hoses, however, the would-be firemen will use water pistols and squart water at candles in the windows of a model Ath Hall. Bingo, what would a carnival be without a bingo game? That this most typical of carnival games should not be forgotten, Beta Sigma Omicron will pro vide the bingo booth for the big Carnival. Anyone who objects to throw ing such messy objects as pies, eggs and sponges can find relief at the Phi Kappa Psi booth. Here the Phi Psi's will provide ping pong balls aplenty to throw at obliging Phi Psi heads. In the true carnival confusion this column omitted the fact that Phi Kappa was working with Theta Phi Alpha in the dart throwing booth described in an earlier oakum "FOR A BETTER PENN STATE' Glee Club Participates In 5-Day Concert Tour Scranton, New York, Allentown, Trenton and Philadelphia win be the sites of a five-day concert tour by 50 Penn State Glee Club members between March 28 and April 1.
